A hardboiled detective near the burnt-end of days. His knuckleheaded partner, a scholar destined for bigger things. And a young mother working illegally as a bar girl. In the sprawl of a city oblivious to their dreams, their lives intersect in the most unlikely of places – a murder scene. Sprawl is gritty and laced with dark humour, its characters paradoxically cynical and romantic. Innovative and surprising, Sprawl will open your eyes to how poetry and artwork can work seamlessly together. And how a city as hard-edged in chrome and steel as Singapore has the softness of an underbelly. Felix Cheong is the author of 18 books. His works have been widely anthologised and nominated for the prestigious Frank O’Connor Award and the Singapore Literature Prize.Conferred the Young Artist Award in 2000 by the National Arts Council, he holds a master’s in creative writing and is currently an adjunct lecturer with the National University of Singapore, Murdoch University, University of Newcastle and Curtin University. Arif Rafhan is a Malaysian illustrator, comic artist and runs his neighborhood doodle class at home. He also provides doodle therapy service for corporate clients and government bodies. His online comics, #seketulsina is about his children being themselves.
